How to visit Jennie Wade | History Travel Advice

Such a sad event from the Civil War. RIP, Jennie.

I wonder which war that America was in or had. Had the most soldiers die in battle starting from the revolutionary War to the last war we have had in America?

I love that map part of the video. It is so cool! Great video!

I grew up a county over for 25 years and moved to the eastern shore. It’s good to be taken back. TY

While this is a great video and I have no doubt that Jennie (proper spelling should have been Ginny lol), was a direct casualty of the battle, it is very doubtful she was the only civilian casualty. There are numerous personal diaries that have been published telling how many other civilians were killed as a result of the battle. Often civilian deaths during that era were caused by errant bullets and artillery discharges that ended up not going to the location that was intended. While in some instances, civilians were intentionally targeted as being either "in the way" or people who were supporters of "the other side".

Another great video! Thank you very much.

Thank You for another very interesting video,,I've been there many years ago, but never really knew about her.

What I love most about your channel is the heart that goes into your stories. You don't cover information as if it is just a set of facts, but you make it human and heart-touching. That is what keeps me coming back for more. I learn the facts but I remember because of how they are presented. You and Scott are perfectly suited for this. Thank you for all the time and effort you put in.

It’s a miracle that no other civilians were killed given the ferocity of the fighting in the town on the first day. Thanks Jenn That a really good presentation on a subject that’s forgotten when studying the battle.

I stayed in a hotel right next to her house

Thank you.

You do good work. Thank you for keeping our history alive and historically correct!

The women were devoted to the cause too. I like that. Very nice presentation.

Thank you for this video. Beautifully done :) Jennie Would be proud. Maybe think about taking a night tour inside the house sometime or even the daytime tour. Wed loce to have you.

Im so glad you got the flowers. Too... Those flowers were placed there in memory of the Manager who passed at the jw house. So seeing them in thia video makes me smile and know that her memory is being shared even in small bits.

Heard so much about her. So sad. Great video, Jenn
